Tomato is the way to go, i was a big fan of DD-WRT for a couple of years however switched to Tomato in 2008 and never looked back.
It's running rock sold on my Asus RT-N16 and copes with my recently upgraded 100mbit internet with ease.

DD-WRT is clunky. I tried both the latest and stable builds and it was shaving off 30Mbps from my maximum connection speed. Their team seems to be sitting back counting donations giving people false hope of their new router being supported. I even sent them a couple routers to them in Germany and here we are a year later and still no word back from them or support for the routers I sent.

Yea, I'd do a bit of research, maybe ask on their forums, its not fun de-bricking a router

I've always been a DD-WRT user and still want to be but the support for my E4200 and newer features (Broadcom in general) seems to be lacking lately. I still checked even now after seeing this thread to see what's been going on and still slow/nothing. I slapped Tomato USB Toastman build on there recently and that thing is flying with more features working than what was offered with DD-WRT. I definitely get faster WLAN to LAN speeds as i've copied files and done tests and it's a big difference, I'd see 12MB/s LAN to WLAN but now that's 30MB/s! WLAN to LAN was always in the 25MB/s range but now that's also 30MB/s

IPv6 stuff for those that care or have it (mainly Comcast in the USA) will know that it works too and works great i'm told. DD-WRT doesn't have IPv6 support really, definitely not DHCPv6-PD!

Yea for them being at sp2 i would expect more features to be implemented. They support a wide range of routers but feature wise they need to be updating them and making them stable... seems like Tomato is similar in that department..not a lot of motivation to really push for updated better features.

Well i installed tomato for this Asus rt-n66 but what can I say, I miss dd-wrt so if anyone can confirm dd-wrt supports all the features of this router (I.E transmission, nas, etc) I may go back. Gonna google it in the meantime.
